Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse

' Specify the details of the HTTP request.
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.ContentType = "application/json"
req.Path = "/echo_request_body.asp"

Dim requestBody As String = "{""greeting"":""Hello World""}"
req.LoadBodyFromString(requestBody,"utf-8")

' Send a POST to https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp with a JSON request body.
success = http.HttpSReq("chilkatsoft.com",443,True,req,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code: " & resp.StatusCode)

' Examine the request we sent.
' The LastHeader property stores the HTTP request header of the most recent request sent,
' and in this instance, the response body mirrors the request body.
Debug.WriteLine(http.LastHeader)
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)

' Output:

' POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
